DEL vs GUJ Match Preview

Delhi Capitals have won three out of eight matches so far and are at the eighth spot in the points table. They have had a mixed season with some incredible wins and surprising losses. David Warner's form has been a worry but youngsters like Prithvi Shaw, Abishek Porel, and Jake Fraser-MuGurk have been impressive. Rishabh Pant has looked in good touch but he needs to bat up the order to have more impact. The bowling lineup will be wary of the hammering they got the last time on the same ground. The fast bowling looks thin with Anrich Nortje not in best form right now. But the spin bowling duo of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav were exceptional in the last game's run-fest and will be expected to weave their magic here.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans are in a much similar position to the Capitals. But they have won an extra game than them. Battled by injuries, they have tried to play their best combination but they need to raise their game at this stage of the competition to be in the playoffs race. The Titans rely too much on their captain Shubman Gill. Saha has not been at his best this season. So, the onus comes on David Miller and Sai Sudharsan to produce the goods in the middle order. Rahul Tewatia has been exceptional in finishing games under pressure. Their bowling was excellent in the last match but it will be tested on a batting-friendly pitch here. Experienced bowlers like Rashid Khan and Mohit Sharma will be expected to deliver.
